Hamilton Almeida - Rizvan Kuniev: betting tip (kef 2.33) and bets on the fight

Current form

In October, Almeida had perhaps one of the most depressing fights of the year, against Alexander Volkov. For all of Volkov's attempts to revive what was happening, the Brazilian chose the most cautious and viscous strategy. The result was a split decision defeat, although from a technical point of view Almeida could well expect to win. The problem is something else. This style does not arouse any sympathy or trust, and most importantly, it does not convince us that we have a future contender in front of us.

Prior to this fight, Almeida was on a winning streak, defeating Sergey Spivak and Alexander Romanov. Its basic model is simple and straightforward — pressure, struggle, control, and the search for submission. This is the main risk for Kuniev. If Almeida manages to impose her pace and gain a foothold on top, the fight could turn into a protracted and drawn-out ordeal. The 34-year-old Brazilian has 22 wins, eight of them by knockouts, 13 by submission and one by decision with four defeats. In the past, he became the champion of Fight On MMA and Thunder Fight.

After three postponements of his UFC debut, Rizvan Kuniev finally entered the octagon in June and immediately received a serious check in the person of Curtis Blades. The result is a split decision defeat, which many still consider controversial. Yes, Kuniev had problems when the fight went to the stalls, but he looked more than decent in the stand.

Blades and Almeida are similar in style in many ways — both rely on pressure and struggle. At the same time, Kuniev managed not only to stand up, but also to inflict significant damage to the American in a series of standing positions, despite the difference in arm span. Blades's was plus four inches, Almeida's was only plus two. This is an important point. The 33-year-old Russian has 13 wins, six of them by knockouts, three by submission and three by decision with three defeats. In the past, he became the Eagle Fighting Championship champion twice.
